Trying to put bils in the front and for the life of me I can not get the upper control arm loose from the knuckle. Tried penetrating spray and some other things. Any ideas? Or secrets.

Hit it with the penetrating oil and then grab one can-a-man (jk jk) and then whack it HARD right at the knuckle where the ball joint slips in. Don't be shy with the hammer I promise it'll come out

It took a lot of doing.

But if at first you can't succeed, swap to the other side and do it first. That helped.

get it? I had to hit the ball joint screw itself with a hammer to get mine to break loose swing from the bottom up and wallah. just make sure you swing with authority and it will come off within 5 or 6 swings tops if you use enough penetrating oil.
